Collin Murray-Boyles was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team by a panel of voters, receiving eight votes for the First Team and 50 votes for the Second Team. He averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game in the regular season. His production matched expectations for most categories, with steals slightly lower than projected. In the playoffs, his per-game averages rose to 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks with improved efficiency. His performance placed him among the few rookies to reach similar playoff thresholds. He is viewed as Toronto’s best rookie since Scottie Barnes and as a key future contributor alongside Barnes.
"Collin Murray-Boyles was selected by a panel of voters to the NBA's All-Rookie Second Team on the night of Wednesday May 20. He was the final member selected to the team, collecting eight votes for the First Team and 50 votes for Second Team. He joins Derik Queen, Maxime Raynaud, Jeremiah Fears, and Ace Bailey on the Second Team."
"Murray-Boyles averaged 8.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 blocks, and 0.9 steals per game. That's actually pretty darn close to what I expected from his rookie season, although it's a touch lower on the steals front. This is what I wrote before the season began: "Perhaps 10.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.7 (?) blocks per game.""
"Then came the playoffs. His per-game averages leaped, skyrocketed, exploded to 14.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.1 blocks on improved efficiency, too. Three rookies, total, have managed to hit those thresholds in the playoffs. He was irrevocable."
"As it is, Murray-Boyles proved that he is Toronto's best rookie since Scottie Barnes, and will immediately be the second-most important piece on this team going forward after Barnes. The duo were fantastic, annihilating opponents together in their shared minutes, especially on the defensive end."
